ChOice-An Opinion About Cleveland

Ex-Speaker Keller, speaking Of the political SIT
uation with STAR reporter to-day, said that the
intelligent people of Ohio were in favor OF Sher-
man for President, and that they would renomi-
nate Foraker for governor and would reflect him.
The democrats had 10 chance, he said, Of electing
governor. Sherman, he said could carry Ohio
in fact, either Sherman or Blaine could carry the
State. Foraker, he said he did not think would
enter the Presidential convention.
The reporter asked what he thought of Mr..
Clevelands administration
"Oh," he replied, with little laugh, ri guess It
is getting along. 1t is democratic, and Cleveland
cannot do anything with that party behind him.
He is unpopular with democrats: know he is
very unpopular with them out my way; but he
can get the nomination. He may grow in strength
among the people, but he is not strong enough now
to be reelected. II he is stronger than his party
the party will wreck him."
